The success of this prompted Dr Rajan launch the project of providing food at Re 1 through the trust he leads. The project was inaugurated by him on August 22.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Rajan said that nobody in this country should go to sleep hungry. We aim to provide breakfast to the hungry too. He also said that if people are not hungry, incidents of crime will reduce significantly.

On the first day of launching food at Re 1, 309 people were served lunch.

Sudeep, who is currently acting in three multilingual movies Pehlwaan, SyeRaa Narasimha Reddy and Dabangg 3, said that this experience was wonderful. "As an actor what more do you want? It's not about the releases, or the numbers of languages. The fact that many people across these places need you, want you. The day an actor is not required, the day no one is writing for you, is when you're actually dead... That's a very scary moment," Sudeep said.

Sudeep also said, "I think there cannot be a better thing for an actor than so many people writing for me. All you want to do is take a flight, go there and do what they want. It's beautiful."

The actor said the exchange of talent which is happening between several film industries is beautiful.

Presented by Zee Stuidos, Pehlwaan or Pailwaan is scheduled to release on September 12. It will release in eight languages including Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam.
